What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth before 1:13 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 1.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Pisces or Aries, the Gentle Warrior

    Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 6.0°) · For a birth after 12:21 p.m., her Mars was in Aries.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
